Thank you to the lovely Kendall for having us out tonight. It was a beautiful rainy evening inside a cozy and cute location for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. I especially loved the quesadillas that were complimentary as well as the frozen margaritas. I wanted to try the regular one but one was enough to get this girl happy. Anyway, I really did appreciate the staff and everyone who brought this event to life. I had a splendid time. Also, the Yelp ice cube trays were just adorable haha :) Yelp on! read more

CMYE: Yelp's Cinco de Mayo Celebration! - Tasty and perfect quesadillas! - Yelp Events Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Fun Yelp event! Great job Kendall. I think the margaritas were the best I've had in awhile. Uh... I may have signed somebody else's check when I bought my desserts from the bar. Their printer had jammed and he gave me a check to sign in which I added a $3 tip. I didn't think much of it until I got home and looked at the credit card app and saw the numbers did not match... Soo sorry. :-$ read more

Pretty cool location and atmosphere to celebrate cinco de Mayo, and probably to get your fill of mexican food and drinks! And let me tell you, the drinks are GOOD! I had two mararitas on the rocks, and they were strong and tasty, and I LOVED the special rim they had, the habanero pepper/salt one (the one Scott was showing), it was fantastic, i would love to sprinkle it on everything! Scott was also giving away some tasty mexican style treats, and i got to try the pineapple spicy one on the way back and it was great! I will look around for his stuff next time i go to Spec's! Music was good, and I got to try some quesadilla and that was tasty! Thanks to Kendall for organizing and everyone at Los Vaqueros in the stockyards for hosting, this was a really fun evening as usual with Kendall's events and with the awesome Yelp Fort Worth crowd! read more

I had a great time at the Yelp Cinco de Mayo Celebration. Showed up a little late but I still got my 2 free margaritas. Very tasty drinks and I love the alternative to a salt rim glass the Halo de Santo cocktail garnish. It was a cool twist and Scott the guy who makes the item was very nice and informative on the product. Terry even bought some he liked it so much. The restaurant Los Vaqueros is a really cool looking building. This will be a new Mexican restaurant to add to my places to eat. I tried the cheese quesadilla they were very good. I missed the other food but I will have to go back and order from the menu one day soon. The party was a lot of fun got to see my Yelp friends and meet some new ones. Kendall did a great job at throwing the celebration party. Plus Adam is a lot of help good job too. Now I will have to make some Yelp shaped ice cubes. read more

What an incredible way to spend Cinco de Mayo but with wonderful Quesadillas, stuffed jalapeno peppers and MARGARITAS! My wife and I love Los Vaqueros and tonight was truly a special evening. Kendall ROCKS. Even with all the chaos, the staff stayed cool, calm and collected. The food was wonderful and the margaritas were awesome. It was definitely the PERFECT way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. read more

Thank you Kendall for this event! Kendall did try and the event sounded promising. But I think the Pura Vida people never showed. The bar was good and tried to stay on top of the drinks. The margaritas were good. Not very strong though. It took me almost 3 drinks to get the buzz. Most Mexican restaurant, it'll take me only 1 drink to get buzzed. The free appetizers were lacking and running out constantly. So were the plates for any chips and dips or quesadillas. The one quesadilla I was able to snag was pretty good. But we were constantly waiting for more that did not come. So my table decided we wanted to order food. At first they said that was okay and took some of our orders. 10 mins later there was a cut off and they now said orders only if you have a table at the dining room. So we said fine we will take a table - there was a 45 min wait. It became longer than 45 mins and by the time we got a table, half of our group left. Someone at our table got fajitas for two. It was a tiny portion even for one person. And they only brought out 3 tortillas for the two people. They had to request for more tortillas twice because apparently, the restaurant is stingy with the tortilla. My queso was very watered down and bland. Not very cheesy. No one at my table even wanted to try it. It was pretty unappetizing. So disappointing when the queso is not even good. And it was expensive too. $9 for the queso. It took a while for our food to come out. So when I flagged a waiter down and asked if our food was coming so I can cancel my order and go home. He pointed around and said very rudely, "ya! It's been very busy!" And walked off. Everyone at our table was astonished at how rude he was. And we did look around and the cafe was half full. So if they consider this as busy- they are not ready for a full restaurant or an event of any sort! I definitely wanted to drive down the street to order real Mexican food to go. read more

Paletas. Kendall. Tequila. Fort Worth. MOST perfect Cinco de Mayo ever. I totes agree with Lauren- nothing cuter than Kendall in a sombrero. I would have never noticed this spot cruising north side- its a pretty big building but it has never stood out to me until I was looking for it. Shout out to the awesome bartenders for mixing up the delish Margaritas with the Halo de Santo rim- we had them pour extra in the margarita. I had a happy palate. Not to mention the fab paletas he was selling- I stuck one in my drank and snagged a bag to take home. We tried to beat the crowd that engulfed the food table everytime the brought out a platter- but all the short people were able to squeeze in past me, so all I tasted was a tostada- but it was cheesey bliss. The owners daughter stopped by and thanked us- she was sweet and cute but she needed a sombrero. :) Thanks a ton to Los Vaqueros for hosting the yelp community- we can wait to come kick it on the patio when the sun decides to shine. Kendall, you rock my socks. read more

Cinco De Mayo is one of my favorite (drinking) holidays! Cerveza, margaritas and tacos signed me up! When I saw yelp and Kendall were hosting an evite I knew Joseph and I had to go! I had never been to Los Vaqueros before, not quite sure how I have grown up in the area and missed this little (big) gem! Los Vaqueros is a huge building with an amazing patio! I look forward to sipping margaritas there this summer! On to the event! Kendall and Los vaqueros were wonderful hosts! The house margarita on the rocks was legit! And the appetizer sampler was amazing! The tacos were by far the best thing we tried last night! Thanks so much Kendall and Los Vaqueros for hosting such a fun cinco de mayo party!! read more

My second Yelp event and I really enjoyed meeting many new people. Plus this was my first celebration of Cinco de Mayo in all the years I have been in Texas. Bonus, I got to enjoy it at Los Vaqueros with a room full of potential new Friends! The snacks they served were really good, but there was not enough to satisfy all of us hungry vultures. Yes the margaritas were amazing and the chili salt, lime rim was definitely a stand apart from the traditional rim. I have been to this restaurant several times before I knew what Yelp was, so i knew I would enjoy the food. The management was friendly and as helpful as could be. The one bartender did an awesome job of keeping the margaritas poured and serving food to those of us who were lucky to order from the bar before they asked us to get a table if we wanted meals. This is why they lost a star. Took way to long to get a table and the waiter at the table was not as attentive as the bartender, or as fast. After we sat we had three people at alternating times tell us they will get some chips but chips had a hard time coming to the table. One guy told us, sorry as you can see we are really busy. As Linn and I looked around at empty tables we did not see busy. Plus the restaurant ran out of rice. Rice! Isn't that a staple in a Mexican restaurant? But the food was good and Santiago makes the best mango margarita I have had in a while! Thank you Kendall for working so had to put this party together for us. Definitely will be back to eat here again. read more

Love kicking it in the Stockyards especially on Cinco De Mayo. It was great seeing everyone and meeting new folks. I really loved the chili salt that was placed on the rims of our margaritas. The food we were able to sample were good. Thank you Kendall for organizing another great event and thank you Los Vaqueros for having us! read more

CMYE at Los Vaqueros on Cinco de Mayo is a win!. I am not in the stock yards much so this was a pleasant excuse to get out here. Also I have never been to Los Vaqueros so this was a double win. They had a band playing when I arrived and they were good and not too loud which let us socialize and catch up. The margaritas were great and strong enough that I felt a little buzz. My favorite appitizer was the jalapeno peppers stuffed with cheese and meat. I knew ahead of time that if I wanted a full meal it was avaible for purchase but the bites were good enough for me. I had a great time catching up with fellow yelpers since I had not made an event in a while. I love getting out on Cinco de Mayo so I loved the event. read more

Had a wonderful time with our lovely CM Kendall and the amazing FW Yelpers! A very nice establishment, I had not realized that Los Vaqueros existed! The drinks were delicious, as was the salt rim...just wish I made enough margaritas at home to actually buy some of the salt. But I'll still pass along the info to those who are looking! The nachos and salsa were good, although sadly the quesadillas/tostadas etc on the tables were pretty much empty most of the time :(...guess it was too delicious. We did wait about 45 minutes to get a table, but the wait was certainly worth it once we munched into the Cowboy quesadillas and the other entrees! Delicious, and a large enough quantity that I had to take most of my meal home. A great cinco de mayo celebration. Thank you Los Vaqueros, Scott and Kendall for organizing a great time. read more

What a wonderful event! Lauren S. is correct, you could go to these events to just have your picture taken with Kendall in a sombrero and that would make it all worth it! Our vendor Scott from Halo Del Santo provided some outstanding Chili Margarita salt for all of our drinks, and it was amazing! The Sweet and Spicy Lollipops were so good, I had to buy two bags to go! The event had a small variety of snack food that went very quickly, however if you were lucky enough to get a piece, you wouldn't have been disappointed. The Bar Manager, Fidel, was an absolute ROCKSTAR with the lack of waiter service in the event area. After being told I would have to go to another part of the restaurant to get food service, my stomach took it upon itself to order food from Fidel. It wasn't long before the Yelp orders started to flow while Fidel took orders at the bar and ran the food out to the yelpers as fast as his legs could carry him! He didn't skip a beat, he was pouring margaritas, salting glasses, and delivering fajitas, all at the same time! He provided an above and beyond quality of service not seen often these days. This was extremely fortunate because we would not have been able to experience the greatness Los Vaqueros had to offer otherwise. The food at Los Vaqueros is probably the best Mexican food I've had as far back as my memory will take me! I'm talking about, this is the kind of place you take out of town guests you wish to impress. The salsa has an outstanding flavor, the food comes out hot and fresh, and boy oh boy, their margaritas are spot on the money! My wife had the chili relleno while I went with the flautas! No longer will people go to Joe Ts when visiting the stockyards! No longer will they settle for On the Boarder! No longer will we stand by and let Taco Bell call themselves a breakfast location! Los Vaqueros shall Reign! read more

Is there anything cuter than Kendall running around in a sombrero on Cinco de Mayo? No. The answer is no. I had never been to Los Vaqueros and I'm always on the lookout for a new Tex Mex place. They blocked off a few booths in the bar and made everything work despite getting rained out. Cheers to them for keeping everything running smoothly. I loved the Santo rim on my margarita. I snagged a bag of lollipops from the vendor. The bites we did get to sample were tasty. I liked the bean and cheese tostada. The owners daughter made her way around and thanked all of us for coming and was very gracious. It was a great event and I can't wait to see all my yelpers again soon! Ole! read more

What a great event! I had a blast celebrating cinco de mayo at this event with fellow yelpers. The margaritas were delicious and the food samples were great. It was very nice and generous of the restaurant to provide us with those little treats. We had chips and salsa, quesadillas, stuffed jalapeños, tostadas, tacos, y mas! My favorite was the chicken quesadilla. It was quite tasty. Also there was a gentleman selling and go in samples of his lollipops. Now I'm not much of a lollipop guy but these were great! The pineapple was so good. It tasted more natural and wholesome, not processed and artificial like typical store-bought suckers. My girlfriend and I ended up buying a variety pack. Can't wait to try the other flavors! Thanks Kendall for putting on a great event! Looking forward to more in the future. read more

Another great event by Kendall! Good drinks, great food samples and the best company. This was my first time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The bartenders were quick and mixed margaritas well. The restaurant also provided us Yelpers with food samplings. The crowd was a bit crazy grabbing too many things at once, in the future remember people it's a sampling not a meal. I did manage to grab a sampling of taquitos, nachos and quesadillas. Not too salty and not too spicy. And what's a Yelp event without some Yelp swag? Upon our arrival we received cute flexi petite Yelp ice cube trays and the tables were sprinkled with buttons. We had a lovely area reserved sole for us and many Yelpers were in attendance. Kendall did a fantastic job moving the event along and I had a great time. So much of a good time that my friends and I unknowingly stayed a bit longer after the restaurant itself closed but luckily we were in the far back so we had not disturbed and closing activities as they had not reached our section yet. Can't wait for the next Yelp event! Thanks so much Kendall! read more

Great times, great food, excellent drinks, and good people. What more can you ask for? Did I mention the margaritas were extremely tasty. Do yourself a favor and have one ;). read more

Please introduce me to the Yelper that did not have fun at this event. Why? I need to know who to stay away from haha. Yelp's Cindo de Mayo Celebration at Los Vaqueros was one of the most fun events yet. Los Vaqueros had the perfect set up for a great event. Kendall and her crew always do a fantastic job, so no surprise there. They made it happen for us! We got cute ice trays for checking in. More Yelp swag, could I love it even more. (Yup, that's a period, rhetorical question of course.) Kendall and her nice helpers made the check in process quick. We had our own section with several tables. The tables were large so it was perfect of all of us, Yelpers, to socialize even better. If you frequent these events and/or get into the elite events you tend to know your fellow Yelpers well. It was great to see and catch up with my Yelp friends. Although Terry, made us all jealous because he and his husband had just returned from Mexico. The wrist bands were a great touch, as some of us have trouble keeping up with drink tickets tehe. (Ladies tend not to carry purses nor have pockets when attending events.) The margaritas, frozen or on the rocks, were both great. The bartenders were prompt and received prompt tips in return. Although, by the time I got to try the lollipops made by a business owner, I wished I had some of the cash I gave away. Haha I don't recall the name of his company, but OMG the lollipops he made were AMAZING! He gave me two and I am waiting to savor my second one. Some friends of mine did purchase some. The sampling event was great. The quesadilla and taquitos were SO GOOD! They also had chips and salsa, and tacos at one point. I didn't get to try the tacos but the ingredients looked fresh and smelled great. The restaurant is a must to return to! I was too busy having a good time to take any pictures though, so good thing my friends are better at remembering to take pics than I! read more

I love making it out to the events that Kendall hosts. She always makes sure it's something fun and enjoyable for the Elites. Kendall didn't disappoint with this event at Los Vaqueros for Cinco de Mayo! The location was great, the food was on point and perfect for a tasting, and the free drinks were just the icing on the cake. If you're an Elite and haven't made it to an event yet get off your couch and come join us! They are always lots of fun! read more

Great night! Great casual place with nice atmosphere. They have live music playin a lil bit of everything. Menu is great serving a little of everything. Had awesome frozen margaritas with kick to them, one drink crept up on me before I even realized it. read more

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time celebrating Cinco de Mayo at this event. The little ice cube tray we received for checking in was so cute! We got a wristband for two free margaritas, I got one frozen and one on the rocks and they were delicious! Exactly what I was craving that day. We also got to sample some yummy treats that the restaurant prepared for us. There were crispy tacos, chicken quesadillas, cheese crisps with refried beans (my favorite!), stuffed jalapeños, and flautas! There was also a guy handing out free samples of his Mexican-style lollipops. They were uh-mazinggg! We got to try the pineapple flavor, but we did not hesitate to buy the variety pack he had for sale containing: mango, watermelon, and pineapple! The restaurant had a live band playing great music and the area where we were congregated was decorated with fun Mexican decorations. Thank you very much for putting this event together, Kendall! We had a blast!! :) read more
